WHAT IS HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY?
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization founded
on the belief in affordable housing for all people. Homes
are built in cooperation with Habitat volunteers (that's
you!) and the future homeowners.
We will be some of the volunteers that Habitat will use
for this work. The home, upon completion, will be sold to
the new homeowner for the cost of materials and 500 hours
"sweat equity." Sweat equity is the work homeowners put in
their home, as well as other Habitat homes. No interest is
charged and all of the money is returned to Habitat and put
toward building more homes. This cycle has been going on for
nearly twenty years and now has affiliates around the world
as well as in nearly every state in the U.S.
Yes! This is the project that Jimmy and Roslyn Carter are
involved in!
Habitat for Humanity statement is "building decent houses
in partnership with God's people in need." We will base our
trip around this and do our part to build decent homes.
We will be working with the Helena Chapter of Habitat for
Humanity in Helena, Montana.
